Besides a reasonable cost of living, what matters is low crime, clean streets, good infrastructure, hospitals, good weather, restaurants, theaters, parks, beaches, museums, etc.
That’s exactly what I was thinking. I lived 45 minutes away from Orizaba and the cartels were ruthless. I’m trying to stay away from Veracruz and any state were cartels roam. And then I feel like Ensenada would have cartel activity also since it’s close to the border & TJ & Rosarito. When I went to Rosarito in august for Beach Fest the cartels were lighting buses and convis on fire and blocking roads… sooo yeah maybe cheap isn’t the only thing that matters. 😢
Great video, truly appreciate your review of these cities! I love the fact that you included their altitudes and year round temperatures! And providing comparisons on a moderate budget. I am definitely voting for a follow up video of the same caliber of information. Thank you! ❤
GREAT video, Jordan! I am getting laid off from my job in Houston on 4/28 (and I'm 63) and I am THIS THIS THIS close to seriously considering moving to Mexico to teach ESL. (I wish I had enough $$$ to retire in the US now but I sure as hell don't, not here; in Mexico, of course I DO, especially if I sell my condo.) I've done some VERY preliminary research and I love that this video dives into real estate. I am LOVING that I might be able to get a nice place for $35--$85K. You definitely should make a part 2 (and 3 and 4 and...) about other cities in Mexico. My main criteria are affordability, good health care, access to a big airport, friendly people who like Americans, and that it NEVER EVER gets cold.
@@jimenasmith3511 Been there 6 times (quick flight from Houston) and love it but it takes "never ever gets cold" too far in the other direction--it's very hot and VERY humid. After the last visit, I decided I want someplace not so hot and humid.
I would suggest Morelia and Ensenada; both would check the boxes you indicated. I enjoy Leon but not as robust of an expat community but you are so close to many areas and the cost of living & healthcare options are excellent!
I've also been interested in teaching ESL so that I can immigrate to a cheaper country (US Citizen); however, I am uncertain of where to start there. What is your plan for teaching ESL, sir?
This is by far one of your best video. More of this pleaseeee Gracias!!! I live in Tecate, Mexico. Maybe some day you can do a video on the differences culturally of living in one area of Mexico vs another. I would love to give you some feedback. You could also do videos of interviwing expats living in other areas of Mexico and their comments. Well done!!!1
I'm actually interested in Tecate, any tips you can share in regards of finding a house on sale? Is there a border crossing? I hope my questions aren't a burden.Thank you beforehand :)
It would be nice to see some smaller apartments, 1-2 Bed 1 Bath in order to be able to stay within that $1000 budget. As a single retiree I wouldn't know what to do with 3 Bed 3 Bath. Preferably in a high rise with elevators... you're right those stairs are scary! What do you think about Puebla?
Yes, would also love to see more discussion on the single-people market; those who don’t need 3+ rooms. Maybe such places just do exist outside of touristy areas with 1 BR condos? And would also love more info on Puebla. It’s supposed to be one of the cheaper cities, but with great history, cuisine, architecture, climate, and proximity to Mexico City.
I'd love to see a video along these lines but focused on smaller cities or towns that are lesser known and less of an expat destination. Perhaps you have other viewers like myself who would rather be in a low-key area surrounded by more traditional Mexican culture. It would be especially interesting to see appealing beach and mountain areas that are not yet inundated by expats.
I could certainly make more videos talking about other nice places to live. With that said, based on your comment in sounds like this video IS mostly what you're looking for. "that are lesser known and less of an expat destination." Orizaba, Aguascalientes, and Pachuca are not at all expat destinations and are relatively unknown by foreigners. Mazatlan is better known but still is a place with not many expats. The only one on this list that is a big expat destination is Ensenada. Now, if you're looking for smaller cities, (like 100k population or less) that's going to be a very long list and I could make countless videos like that.
@@TangerineTravels please do, you'll have decades of travel and videos to make LOL! Like 9INTERESTING8, we're seriously looking for these lesser known places that aren't on the radar (maybe an impossible mission these days), but they exist. For example we found Pte. Piaxtla on one trip and that super tiny beach town will turn off a lot of people because of the kids driving motorcycles on the beaches, but the natural location is beautiful.
Great video Jordan! Here's what I'd like to see. 1.Great beach town. 2. Bicycle (read, flat terrain) friendly. 3. Great dining options. 4. 100-200K budget to own. 5. 2000K/MO. living money.
Thank you so much for this video! It's great to see options for living in Mexico in smaller cities on a budget, which leaves money left to explore the rest of Mexico! 💖 🇲🇽
I'm interested in a smaller city, safe, with a lot of history and arts culture. Preferably in the 70-80 degree range for weather most of the year. I loved the mountains of Antigua, Guatemala. Would like to try somewhere similar in Mexico.
I always thought the pronunciation of the city was Córdoba and not Cordoba. Orizaba is inexpensive but surely Tepic, the capital of Nayarit, is even more inexpensive, especially concerning rent. Tepic has a population of around 350,000 and a springlike climate. Plus, it is only 53 km. to the beach at San Blas and 206 km. to Guadalajara. I lived for a while in Ixlán del Rio, right on the border with Jalisco and near the deep canyon of Plan de Barrancas. I loved it.
Someone on here mentioned Compostela and Marcos in the same state. How is that state overall in terms of safety? Virtually all of Mexico has a travel warning
Jordan, this video presents some of Tangerine Travels' best content to date. Excellent organizing format that's very easy to follow and skip around in for comparison and reference. Jordan its viral worthy, hope it rockets for ya. 🚀🎯 🇲🇽
I have a dog as you do. Laska. So I’m sure choices are more limited for rent. It would be nice if you could concentrate on larger fur baby rentals and maybe as a tribute to Laska . Tips on air bnb’s and longer term rentals
This is SO helpful, I was having no luck at all finding options through Google to get a feel for actual costs of different locations in Mexico, knowing the way that locals advertise is perfect (I should have guessed it would be Facebook, it's really taken over.)
I am a 60 year old woman. Divorced after 18 years, in 2020. My mom just passed away a year ago. I have no one left here other than sons who have families of their own and live 1300 miles from me. I dont want to disrupt their family life. Would like to sell everything and start over. I figured Mexico was unsafe. You make me think it might be a great way to start a new life.
Many Thanks for this, well organized and presented info -- very much wanting to see more of this as well as the 'what there's to do and see' in each of these areas, like you do so well. Also, if bringing my own car to Mx from Canada, would like to know more about the best practices/ safety of driving from one of these areas to another or across the different states. I hear so much about various dangers in that - mostly fear mongering or what should I know? Cheers!...from North Vancouver
Please do more videos of this type. I’m looking for a place to buy for my retirement. Can you check out Zihuatanejo? I’d love to know more about that city. Thanks for the great content!
Yes please for part 2. Could we have some smaller towns? Also, how do you search in Spanish for places to rent that are furnished? And how to search if one only wants to rent a room but with kitchen and living room privileges? So glad you are including elevation and climate as I do not do well in the heat.
Excellent review of some places in Mexico, some where I'm knowledgeable, too. My favorite places would likely be Huatulco, Guanajuato, areas around Puerto Vallarta, etc. Personally, I think P.V. has better weather than Mazatlan, because there's cloud cover, rain and the ocean breeze.
You mentioned the benefits of living close to the border for people interested in conveniently going back and forth. A border town video or series sounds interesting, options, price, security, misconceptions, etc. what are the pros and cons of the towns and cities near the border?
GREAT video and info. As a senior who will be on a budget, these homes look good and affordable but I worry about the noise factor? If you get a neighbor who does late night parties or blasts the boom box it can ruin the quality of life. But I thank you for showing possibilities since San Miguel de Allende, Puerta Vallarta, and Ajijic are getting pricey. Violence (cartels) is currently in the news, and there is talk about drought and the fact that Mexico is growing without water infrastructure necessarily prepared to supply the newcomers.
In Mexico everiting is easy. Bring you money. If you put 1 small damage deposit, plus 1 more month by advance and maybe a 6 month contract. wil be more easy(but some times. You will dont need it)
When will you do a video of Baja Sir? It's really nice there. LaPaz, Cabo San Lucas, Todos Santos. Or just south of Ensenada is La bufadora, that would be a great video.
When I see myself living in Mexico, it is mainly to have a patio or balcony, a bit of garden and pool why not? Strangely none of these places have that. How do I look for this, in what cities? Have dog, love gardening and eating outdoors at home.
GREAT video Jordan! Thanks, I've been looking at Orizaba lately, but I started watching you more because of your Mazatlan videos, because I spend a lot of time there. I'm curious if you know that there's a small youtube channel that did a WHOLE video questioning if you were ever even in Maz because they claimed that you never left your "resort"! I spend a ton of time in Maz and I'm like what? I saw y'all all over the place in Maz. And... I'm a Hilton Diamond member as well, so I've spent time at the Double Tree. I'm like hmmmm... it wasn't even a resort. They obviously have never been there and I have to admit that I commented to them... "You 2 are idiots." That's all I said and I'm embarrassed I even said it. I don't even know what channel it was, or I'd tell you. (only a few hundred subscribers) Curious if anyone else has told you this.
btw, I will be in Maz for 5 days soon while on my way to GDL and then Ajijic (for a house and pet sit), and this time I decided to be on Isla de la Piedras on the cheap, so I will be staying at a place for $13 a night, entire place with kitchen, which will be interesting for me, and going to be hot sleeping!. My very first trip to Maz, I booked the Double Tree for 8 days, which was AMAZING for the price, view and pool/ on the beach, and followed it by a stay in Centro with a dipping pool in the heart of all for $800. I now always book a place near the malecon, but a few blocks away, and my highest montly price (for 1 month, not long term contract) was $425. Oh shoot... mostly what I wanted to say is that I love where your channel is going.
Bring on part two. Keep in mind that if you are renting on a $1k monthly budget, you probably want to limit your search to places renting for $400 per month or less (to leave room for all the other living expenses).
I never see anyone talk about whether an American who takes multiple prescription medications per month can afford to live in Mexico. What are the healthcare options? Thanks!
In Mazatlan, most houses will have closed in garages and/or bars on windows etc for security. Mazatlan in general is a poorer city vs somewhere like Queretaro or Merida which are richer cites. My apartment in Mazatlan in Centro Historico has all barred windows, even a special one for the sliding glass door on the balcony.
Just saw an old video about that guy getting arrested for expired Visa! This is exactly why I'm starting the temporary residency thing before I leave so they know I'm serious.
If you want to live Veracruz I suggest explore the city you want to live, ask around that people live there look around , but never live in a erea, tourist go or live its more expensive
Why is a vacation rental bad and Mazatlan?.. isn't the rent price still below your limit? Please add more cities / areas .. Also, do you know of other websites to search for rentals or purchase?
My husband… the one with the pension and Social Security… is sort of reluctant to make the commitment to Mexico, but I really want permanent residency. He begrudgingly says we can consider Guadalajara. Would like info on that city.
@@RubbingPotatoes Many people have been going to South East Asia. It's extremely safe and much much cheaper. But prices have also been going up. Eastern Europe is also cheap. Many people from the US went to Portugal and drove up prices there years ago, so that's not an option anymore. One guy on here told me he prefers Nicaragua over Mexico bc it's much cheaper. But you have to base prices also on what people earn and what it costs. I don't think Mexico is cheap based on that.
@@siouxrose7766 .. an Aval is someone who signs with you at the time of signing the rental agreement... guarantor so to speak....make sure they have 2 options for getting paid..like a cosigner..
Looking for a city that is walkable. I dont want a car. Also has goid medical care and whwre i can walk to my food market, do some hiking, get my coffee, learn Soanish and take naps and repeat. Hoping to vidit the cities outside Mexico City this year
Most people that migrate are from the undeveloped poor states, believe me people live well in Mexico but only for some States, not all states are the same in Mexico nor the cultures or people, never put Mexicans in one box. The north and central parts of Mexico and some places of the Yucatan peninsula are well money wise it's the south that has suffered from not being industrialized and tends to be poorer, also the neglect the Mexican government has neglected the South for it's where the heart of native indigenous communities nations and where the afro Mexicans live.

No video is going to cover everything. You have to check out lots of sources an build a gestalt.
Get a job.
And no homeless people living in tents with trash everywhere

Word
Are you Mexican living in Tecate or from the US? Usually these border cities don't tend to be so nice and are rather expensive

I loved the mountains of Antigua, Guatemala. Would like to try somewhere similar in Mexico.
Chapala Jalisco. But prices are a little high compare to other places in Mexico because the gringos have caused prices to go up.
I really enjoyed this video, you should do more of these!

Thanks for videos prices climate I appreciate it been watching your videos for a while
Thank you Jordan, this was very helpful. Please do more videos like this.
Thanks for this very useful video!!! Part 2 would be great! We have been considering Mazatlan for retirement winters. 👍🏻

Please do more videos of this type. I’m looking for a place to buy for my retirement. Can you check out Zihuatanejo? I’d love to know more about that city. Thanks for the great content!
Another video please, but, please include more single family traditional Mexican houses. Thanks Jordan.
Yes please for part 2. Could we have some smaller towns? Also, how do you search in Spanish for places to rent that are furnished? And how to search if one only wants to rent a room but with kitchen and living room privileges? So glad you are including elevation and climate as I do not do well in the heat.
Use these words in your search: Furnished = amueblado, kitchen priviledges= con acceso a cocina, living room priviledges = con acceso a sala
More, more, more! Quickly, living in Nueva Italia, Michoacan, want to go back to Baja!
Baja is so ridiculously expensive
Excellent review of some places in Mexico, some where I'm knowledgeable, too. My favorite places would likely be Huatulco, Guanajuato, areas around Puerto Vallarta, etc. Personally, I think P.V. has better weather than Mazatlan, because there's cloud cover, rain and the ocean breeze.
Wow! The rental looks awesome!
You mentioned the benefits of living close to the border for people interested in conveniently going back and forth. A border town video or series sounds interesting, options, price, security, misconceptions, etc. what are the pros and cons of the towns and cities near the border?
Definitely more expensive.
GREAT video and info. As a senior who will be on a budget, these homes look good and affordable but I worry about the noise factor? If you get a neighbor who does late night parties or blasts the boom box it can ruin the quality of life. But I thank you for showing possibilities since San Miguel de Allende, Puerta Vallarta, and Ajijic are getting pricey. Violence (cartels) is currently in the news, and there is talk about drought and the fact that Mexico is growing without water infrastructure necessarily prepared to supply the newcomers.
would love to see a part 2
Holy smokes! What a great video. Many of those would make a great base to travel from.
What typically are the terms when renting in Mexico?
In Mexico everiting is easy. Bring you money. If you put 1 small damage deposit, plus 1 more month by advance and maybe a 6 month contract. wil be more easy(but some times. You will dont need it)
Hey this a great video did to give great perspective! 😊
Love this! Thank you for the info.
This was a GREAT video!
When will you do a video of Baja Sir? It's really nice there. LaPaz, Cabo San Lucas, Todos Santos. Or just south of Ensenada is La bufadora, that would be a great video.
Yes make part 2good information 👍💯
Great video, how about Toluca on the next one?
When I see myself living in Mexico, it is mainly to have a patio or balcony, a bit of garden and pool why not? Strangely none of these places have that. How do I look for this, in what cities? Have dog, love gardening and eating outdoors at home.

Can you do a video on the cheapest safest , with most amenities for families of 5?
Yes, Jordan, pt.2 please.
Thank you, this video is very useful.
More videos like this would be great! Grandma looking to move with pets 🙏
I am surprised with temps that high 80-90 that most folk are seen with sweaters and jackets.
Aguascalientes is the city you want to live in for sure!
yes could you do a video on Durango Mexico
Bring on part two. Keep in mind that if you are renting on a $1k monthly budget, you probably want to limit your search to places renting for $400 per month or less (to leave room for all the other living expenses).
I never see anyone talk about whether an American who takes multiple prescription medications per month can afford to live in Mexico. What are the healthcare options? Thanks!
Medications are cheaper in Mexico. I stock up on every trip down there. Many items that are prescription only in US are Otc in Mexico.
Great vid.
In Mazatlan, most houses will have closed in garages and/or bars on windows etc for security. Mazatlan in general is a poorer city vs somewhere like Queretaro or Merida which are richer cites. My apartment in Mazatlan in Centro Historico has all barred windows, even a special one for the sliding glass door on the balcony.
Awesome video please do more
land prices would be nice as well, like empty lots, or over an acre
Have you seen what those cost in Mexico? I never understand why they are so expensive and also don't understand what ejidos are.
I love this video! Thank you 😊
Very useful video! Thanks!!
Great overview! Do lease renewals usually go up by an average percentage? How best to avoid Facebook Marketplace scam listings?
Just saw an old video about that guy getting arrested for expired Visa! This is exactly why I'm starting the temporary residency thing before I leave so they know I'm serious.
Interior Mexico is the place to relocate. From an investment standpoint, one will get more for less. Vamos MX, US & Azul.
Thank you for the advice and information!
If you want to live Veracruz I suggest explore the city you want to live, ask around that people live there look around , but never live in a erea, tourist go or live its more expensive
Thanks! Great detail
This is VERY informative! I would love to see this for other areas of Mexico. The Playa Del Carmen area would be great, too!!
Why is a vacation rental bad and Mazatlan?.. isn't the rent price still below your limit?
Please add more cities / areas ..
Also, do you know of other websites to search for rentals or purchase?
You seem tomiss San Juan del Río Querétaro with a Quarter Million inhabitants and between Queretaro and México City.
San Carlos in Sonora Mexico es numero uno mi amigo
Numero uno en que? 🤣
You should do videos like this every 4 months or so..looooooooved.😊
Thanks for the feedback!
I'd love to visit some of these areas, but would like to know how I would get along with limited Spanish.
My husband… the one with the pension and Social Security… is sort of reluctant to make the commitment to Mexico, but I really want permanent residency. He begrudgingly says we can consider Guadalajara. Would like info on that city.
When renting an apartment in Mexico on a lease do they check your credit score in America?
Isn't it also the case that a person should best do a search when in the area itself such as Cabo or Ensenada etc.?
I was thinking about visiting Mazatlan on vacation, but I saw from the department of travel issuing do not travel warning for the city…
I see many people from the US in Mazatlan. Probably safe if you stay in certain areas. Sometimes these big cities are safer than the rest of the state
@@luperamos7307 Do Not Travel warning -- that is literally the same level that they give Russia and North Korea. Let that sink in...
@@RubbingPotatoes That's why so many people move elsewhere. I find Mexico expensive and dangerous.
@@luperamos7307 move elsewhere that's inexpensive and safe relative to Mexico -- like where would you suggest ?
@@RubbingPotatoes Many people have been going to South East Asia. It's extremely safe and much much cheaper. But prices have also been going up. Eastern Europe is also cheap. Many people from the US went to Portugal and drove up prices there years ago, so that's not an option anymore. One guy on here told me he prefers Nicaragua over Mexico bc it's much cheaper. But you have to base prices also on what people earn and what it costs. I don't think Mexico is cheap based on that.
Don't forget you have to have an aval in Vera Cruz...hard when you are just moving there..been there done that!! Lived there!!
What is an aval?
@@siouxrose7766 .. an Aval is
someone who signs with you at the time of signing the rental agreement... guarantor so to speak....make sure they have 2 options for getting paid..like a cosigner..
Aval?

Looking for a city that is walkable. I dont want a car. Also has goid medical care and whwre i can walk to my food market, do some hiking, get my coffee, learn Soanish and take naps and repeat. Hoping to vidit the cities outside Mexico City this year
What about houses on the beach?
When I see these prices I wonder why anyone from Mexico would be looking to leave?
Most people that migrate are from the undeveloped poor states, believe me people live well in Mexico but only for some States, not all states are the same in Mexico nor the cultures or people, never put Mexicans in one box. The north and central parts of Mexico and some places of the Yucatan peninsula are well money wise it's the south that has suffered from not being industrialized and tends to be poorer, also the neglect the Mexican government has neglected the South for it's where the heart of native indigenous communities nations and where the afro Mexicans live.
